NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has been cleared for final launch preparations ahead of a targeted August 30 liftoff aboard SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy. The powerful new observatory will probe cosmic expansion, the history of the universe, and distant exoplanets.

El observatorio Nancy Grace Roman superó una fase crítica en Florida tras ser cargado con propelente. Lanzará a fines de agosto para investigar la energía oscura y exoplanetas.

Roman's month of Milky Way observations would take Hubble about a century to complete.
